Are you planning to take classes during the summer semester? If you need student loans to help pay for your classes—and you haven't already completed the application process—please submit the Summer Aid Application through PioneerWeb. Once submitted, you will receive an email with information about your summer aid options after an advisor has reviewed your application—typically within a week.

Your DU tuition bill is due on May 16th. On that date, your financial aid for summer semester will disburse to your student account and will pay toward your charges—as long as all financial aid requirements are satisfied.

Expecting a refund? If your financial aid is more than the total of your charges, a refund will be generated by the Bursar's Office on Tuesday, May 19th. If you have direct deposit, you can expect to see that refund in your bank account on May 20th.

Did you know you can calculate your estimated refund through PioneerWeb? Go to the Law Student tab and click on the "Summer Semester 2015" link in the My Account box. Then, subtract your total "Term Credits and Payments" from "Term Charges." If the result is a positive number, you'll receive that amount in a refund.

The last day to add or drop classes at 100% for summer semester is Tuesday, June 2nd. On that date, we will verify your enrollment and make any necessary changes to your Cost of Attendance. If you are enrolled in fewer credits than what you indicated on your Summer Aid Application, your financial aid refund may be too large and we may need to return a portion of your loan funds back to the U.S. Department of Education (which will create a balance due with DU). If you are enrolled in more credits, you will receive a smaller refund to use for living expenses (if you planned to borrow for those).

If your actual enrollment is different than what you indicated on your summer aid application, please contact our office as soon as possible so we can make the necessary adjustments to your Cost of Attendance and financial aid.
